Bug#515214: Please do not depend on HAL, or provide an alternative xserver-xorg package

[Alexander Clouter <alex@digriz.org.uk>]

Hi,

I wanted to add my 'vote' to this, adding HAL is a truly horrible 
horrible thing to do.  For a lot of people HAL is a 'nasty' side of 
Linux userland and so far by using Debian, up until now, we have been 
able to avoid it.

HAL is one of those things that show that although the Linux kernel is 
becoming really shiny, the userspace world is heading in a really ugly 
direction.

Please don't force the *whole* Debian community to be part of this.

Cheers
